There may be someone here who will go through all these combinations and tell you exactly what you want to know. If you really want to breed, I'd recommend you take steps to figuring out on your own what you'll get. Here's how I recommend you do it:
--know the meaning of "dominant" "recessive" and "co-dominant". If you don't know, you can find some of that info on leopardgeckowiki.com (see below) or by googling
--go to "leopardgeckowiki.com". Look up each of your morphs and figure out whether they are dominant, recessive, co-dominant or line bred. Then figure out what the combination of each female's characteristics with the male's charisteristics will get you. If you get stuck, come back here with specific questions.

Another piece of advice: with the leopard gecko market so sturated by geckos, if you're planning already to breed 4 females, why don't you see how that goes before picking up a fifth?

Good luck,

4 females is a lot. I would not get anymore. Potentially a female could lay up to 20 eggs.

There are some nice gecko morph calculators in which you can punch this stuff in yourself. They also serve as a nice tool to teach yourself genetics since you can play around with whatever combinations you want.

If you want a fifth one for his harem, I would get a Mack Snow het Raptor, a Mack Snow Raptor, or a Mack Super Snow Eclipse. You don't have the Mack Snow gene yet, and it creates beautiful animals (well, if you like them; it's kind of subjective! It's dominant, so you'd have a 50:50 percent chance to hatch a Mack Snow baby).

Here's the morph calculator. I don't think anybody will go through all the possible combinations and list them for you :p Type them into the morph calculator per animal.

You have very nice starter animals, and lots of potential to create Raptors (with all females except the fourth one). :main_yes:

I love the morph calculator listed just now, but dissappointed in its limited morphs to choose from....wish it could provide more info.

Yeah, I agree. It needs way more morphs to choose from. I think it's hilarious that the "black hole" is one of the one's it actually has, yet doesn't even have SHTCT. I think whoever created it, just listed morphs that they like. It would be awesome if we could get a member here to create a master morph calculator with a list of nearly all morphs available. It would be quite a task though. oh well.

Maybe you can email the person on whose website the morph calculator is and make suggestions how to expand it?
